The core problem is that VScode extensions does not need to be signed at all. Mind boggling stupid design decision.

Isn't the Cursor Marketplace separate from VSCode's? Maybe it's as simple as someone impersonating Anthropic because they never registered there? Code signing alone wouldn't help in cases like that.

i work for a large company that’s trying to curate vs code extensions, and this doesn’t make it easy.

we automatically block extensions and require that extensions must be approved, but this is a tedious process.
